Lit Up
Two new lighting systems that have jewelers glowing
EDITOR'S NOTE: Asurvey of the latest and greatest bench lighting systems on the market led our editorial team to the two lights pictured here. Check out their specs and see why they have some jewelers lit up with joy.
Wolf EcoFlex
Designed to meet the everyday needs of professional bench jewelers, the Wolf EcoFlex is an environmentally friendly LED bench light mounted on a 25-inch flexible arm. Capable of rotating 3400 vertically and 900 horizontally, the head offers 4x 1-watt high-brightness white LEOs optically mixed to produce an even light pattern. Featuring proper thermal management to achieve a rated life of 50,000 hours, the light meets the GIA daylight color lighting standard of CIE Iliuminant 065. Dimmable down to 25 percent of full intensity, the EcoFlex features a splashguard to protect against debris and liquids.
Why It's So Cool
"I bought two [Wolf EcoFlex] lights to replace my two halogen lights at my microscope. I do a lot of pave setting work under the microscope, during which I get a lamp burn from the heat off the halogen lamps. Using the Dazor lights, I get a whiter light and cooler light."
